At your best on the beach

Of course we are all incredibly happy with summer and cocktails and vacations and such. But having to walk around half-naked all the time does raise some concerns. Does my butt look too big? And wow, that bright light makes my orange peel skin very visible. It's really not the end of the world and we are just not Doutzen. But we still want to feel our best when we parade on the beach. This is how we do it:

Preferably small

Ladies with curves tend to wear such enormous diapers. Don't do it! Go for a smaller bikini bottom (which only covers your tushy halfway), because then your butt even looks optically smaller. This also applies to girls with little chicken butts, because a too big bottom only flattens your derrière.

Swimsuit

I am crazy about swimsuits. I think they generally make your legs look slimmer and they are perfect if you have a little belly. Yes hello, we have to live too, right? But also for the slightly older ladies, who prefer to show less skin, swimsuits are a good solution. If you have large breasts, make sure to choose one with a molded cup. Letting them hang loose in the cage is not flattering.

Orange meets peach

Well, the once invisible dimples seem to be turning into grooves in that bright sunlight. Unfortunately, there is no direct miracle cure (look at Jet's tips for reducing cellulite), but some preparation can help. Take a shower and scrub your entire body well. Then, while in the shower, massage your legs roughly in circles. Finish with at least one minute of ice-cold water. You can do it. Then apply an anti-cellulite cream. I personally use the one from Collistar.

Tanner = slimmer

Everything just looks better tanned. So make sure to have a self-tanning session before you stroll onto the beach. Our doctor Josselin knows exactly how to do that.

Your posture

Huh, do you have to pay attention to that on the beach too? Hell yeah. No matter how your body looks, good posture is muy importante. Make sure to walk upright at all times with your shoulders back. Because gracefully walking women look so incredibly confident and that is sexy. You can even practice at home the old-fashioned way with a book on your head. Once settled on your beach towel, you look your best when you lean on your elbows and keep your legs close together. Just so you know.

Snacking can be done in the evening

It's not that I only eat salads on vacation, but save those fries for the evening. Fat and salt make you look more bloated – we don't want that.
